Update: Sadly, this solution is not consistent. It works more often than otherwise, but we still need an OS based solution. I have found a 99¢ app called “Clean Text” that does the work and more, so… we still need an OS based solution, but in the meantime I recommend […]

Here is a tip I could not find it anywhere on the interwebs. My Apple Pencil (which I use extensively to highlight PDFs while reading in Endnote and other apps) stopped working. The iPad could see it, knew it was there, fully charged, but when I went to write, highlight, […]
In a previous post (Sente is (long) dead, long live EndNote?) I wrote about the fact that Sente, the bibliographic database solution I had espoused is now defunct and that I had moved over to EndNote. (And I feel horrible about that! Coincidentally a former PSU student of mine just […]
Several years ago I wrote about seeking a bibliographic software. I had been using EndNote for years, but I wanted a solution that would allow me to archive and annotate PDFs while also having access to them on the iPad. I chose the “walled garden” of Sente. It was well […]

I may or may not be moving up to an iPhone 5s. My wife things the gold is just too bling for a guy like me, but it did occur to me that this picture I took of two swans in Schwäbisch Hall would be a perfect wallpaper.
UPDATE: Apparently iOS 7 will allow you to view Unread messages only. As of 8/29/13 it has not yet been released, so I cannot confirm that. UPDATE 2:Indeed iOS 7 allows this. In the Mail app go to “Mailboxes” (upper left corner) and, if you don’t already see “Unread,” select […]
